1945 August 5, 1945 THE PADUCAH SUN-DEMOCRAT PAGE FIVE Winant, Dunn, Cohen Mentioned For Council Post LONDON, Aug. 4-(P)-The names of U. Ambassador John G. Winant, 'Assistant Secretary of State James Clement Dunn and Benjamin V. Cohen, special assistant to Secretary of States James F.

Byrnes, were advanced in American tonight as the leading S. deputy on diplomatic, circles, the Big Five council of foreign ministers. There was speculation that Winant would be succeeded as ambassador to Britain by White House Advisor Joseph E. Davies, now homeward bound from Potsdam, within a few weeks. Davies told friends just before his departure that he would be returning soon, but he did not say in what role.

Reports that Winant would be relieved soon of his assignment were strengthened by the fact he was not among those invited to Potsdam, and that the European advisory commission, on which he was American representative, has been eliminated after drafting recommendations for occupation and control of enemy countries. Dunn and Cohen were with Truman and Byrnes at Potsdam, and their presence was interpreted by some American diplomatic sources as giving them track for the post on the then important foreign ministers' council. gave the edge to Cohen Dunn, since the former worked ave special assistant to Byrnes, who will name the deputy. Byrnes is expected to name deputy when he returns to Washington. The first meeting of the council will be held in London, which will be the seat, not later than Sept.

1. nobiggest task facing the council's opening session will be the drafting of peace treaties with Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Finland. Meanwhile Assistant Secretary of State William Clayton was engaging in conversation with Britain's economic officials. It was reliably that one of Clayton's assignments was to measure the impact of Labor's sweeping election victory on British economic policy, and to learn the plans and timetable for its socialization program. If Clayton succeeds in obtaining assurance that the United States and Great Britain will see eye-toeye on postwar trade policy, an international conference may be called before the end of the year to discuss world-wide aspects of the problem.

The chief objective would be to eliminate cut-throat fights for markets.

Rommel Committed Suicide, Son Says BAD TOLZ, Germany, Aug. 4 (AP) A son of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel declared in a sworn statement today that his father committed suicide as an alternative to a death sentence passed by a court "because he was suspected complicity in the July 20, 1944, bomb plot on Hitler's life." The statement, released by U. S.

Third headquarters, was made by Manfred Rommel, 17-year-old son of the German "Desert (Allied offices at Wiesbaden said on June 25 that they had been told by Lt. Gen. Fritz Bayerlein, Rommel's former chief of staff, that the field marshal had committed suicide in order to avoid the death penalty for allegedly participating in the plot on Hitler's life. The Germans announced -Oct. 15, 1944, that Rommel had "died of wounds."

Intelligence officers today sought to uncover facts behind the appearance in the Gulf of Mexico of a German submarine raft, well stocked with emergency rations including 8 bottle of schnapps.

Officials revealed that the raft was sighted on Sunday by an Army boat returning from a fishing cruise. The raft itself began to fall apart as it was towed to land, but its cargo was brought here.
